Core Tip
Core tip: This minireview is written for urology and internal medicine physicians who see kidney stone formers in their daily practice. It is our responsibility to make more serious consideration on the long term outcome of developing end-stage renal disease and cardiovascular diseases in kidney stone formers. The significance of appropriate intervention on acidic condition for these subjects are often neglected. By naming “SCAD syndrome”, we can promote more attention on this significant, but sometime forgotten pathological condition.
